The name Hung Fa Leng (紅花嶺) does not translate directly as 'Robin's Nest' but as 'Red Flower Ridge'.
In 2017, the Hong Kong Government announced that it was planning to designate the area as a country park, called Robin's Nest Country Park.[2] This proposed designation was made in June 2019.[3] As of 2021, the final legislative work on the designation is still in progress.[4]
